Two cars were involved in a crash at Switch Island this afternoon causing traffic chaos.

One eyewitness said they saw a car on its side after the crash on the A59 Dunningsbridge Road at around 4pm.

Drivers now cannot join the M58 eastbound after the slip road was closed and face delays around Switch Island.

Motorway police, fire and ambulance services attended the scene.

A North West Motorway Police spokeswoman confirmed two people suffered minor injuries in the collision.

One woman was taken to hospital complaining of back pain and another is described as “walking wounded”.

The spokeswoman said a lamppost was also damaged.

Eyewitness John Hunt said: “There were about three fire engines and lots of police vehicles and ambulances. I was on the opposite carriageway, and could only see one vehicle - it looked like a dark blue Ford Focus.

“The fire service were turning it upright. It was on its side when I went past.

“I wasn’t that surprised as there have been accidents there before.“Traffic was building up, three lanes were chokka.”
